Doesn't take up too much room and has a minimalistic look. As the laptop rests just on the two arms, air is able to fully circulate around the entire laptop so even with heavy, all-day use, my MacBook Pro (2015) always remains nice and cool. The stand can be adjusted by gently squeezing the little handles behind the support legs so it will work for shorter and taller people. The tallest setting is really really tall!! I can keep basic stationery underneath the stand so there's not a lot of clutter on my desk. It folds down in seconds and it comes with a carry pouch. It's so thin and light it's fully portable. Definitely glad that I waited and did my research before buying a stand and that I chose this one.
